Object of the Game:
To have everyone share a little
bit about themselves.
Items Needed: A
roll of string or yarn, a pair of scissors.Preparation:
Without
telling anyone what the game is have each individual cut a piece of
string/yarn from the roll. Tell them to make it as short or as long
as they wish.

Directions: Once
everyone has a piece of string have them sit in a circle or semicircle.
Now explain that the game is to have each person take a turn and talk
about themselves for the length of their string. They must begin talking
and winding the string around their finger and can't stop sharing things
about themselves until they reach the end of the string.

Example: There
are twelve people, some with a piece of string a foot long, others with
pieces a few feet long each. The first person begins by winding the
string around their finger and saying things such as, "My name
is.... and I grew up in.... I have .... family members and like to .....
etc."

Note: Another
variation is to have people take squares off a roll of toilet paper
and have them say something about themselves for each square they took.
